Referential effects on verb agreement: Finnish numeral-noun constructions

Grammatical number in numeral-noun constructions

A common assumption in current generative literature on cardinal numerals is that, with few exceptions, the structural relation between a numeral and the noun that it combines with is uniform, cross-linguistically as well as language-internally. Thus, the debate whether numerals are heads that select a projection of the noun as their complements (Ionin and Matushansky 2006), or specifiers of an...

Detecting Noun Compounds and Light Verb Constructions: a Contrastive Study

In this paper, we describe our methods to detect noun compounds and light verb constructions in running texts. For noun compounds, dictionary-based methods and POStagging seem to contribute most to the performance of the system whereas for light verb constructions, the combination of POStagging, syntactic information and restrictions on the nominal and verbal component yield the best result. Ho...

A Hybrid Approach to Extracting and Classifying Verb+Noun Constructions

We present the main findings and preliminary results of an ongoing project aimed at developing a system for collocation extraction based on contextual morpho-syntactic properties. We explored two hybrid extraction methods: the first method applies languageindepedent statistical techniques followed by a linguistic filtering, while the second approach, available only for German, is based on a set...
